Meaning
A long, loose outer robe or cloak worn by scholars or dervishes.
Detailed Meaning
A jubba is a loose-fitting, long gown or cloak traditionally worn by religious scholars, mystics, or pious figures. In this couplet, it represents the external trappings and prestige of orthodox religious piety. The poet uses it ironically to show how the preacher relinquished this very emblem of formal sanctity in a state of ecstatic drunkenness at the tavern.
Etymology
Arabic (جُبَّة, jubbah), meaning a long outer garment, tunic, or coat.
Usage
In classical Urdu poetry, the jubba is frequently invoked alongside the dastar (turban) as a symbol of the superficial orthodoxy of the Shaikh or Zahid.
Examples
To discard the jubba of asceticism
The jubba and turban of the preacher
Synonyms
चोगालबादाजामा
